My Sister's Reflection
"You have her smile"
"you look the same
but you're so different"
Hollow me out
Scoop me into
A shell of my sister
sliding into shoes
I am both too small
and too quiet to fill
Meek mouse playing house
In the home
Of a lion
Always a reflection
Never the real thing
Always just a copy
A two dimensional figure
Of a figure that I
Can never become
We are so different
Contrasting opposites
Divergent
As in everything
That she ever was
Is unobtainable to me
Steadfast lighthouse
And I am the shadow
The sun casts behind it
So when I stare
Into that mirror
All I've ever seen
Was a reflection
Of a reflection
Looking back at me
i will never be her.
